Embedded with customer and DXC teams, you will write code, build pipelines, troubleshoot complex issues and iterate quickly with users and stakeholders. The role will use automation-first and DevSecOps practices to build platforms and land workloads on Azure, including the sovereign Azure New Zealand North region, while contributing reusable modules and patterns to DXC's Nucleus Cloud Engineering Platform. Why this role matters You will help customers move from intent to working cloud capability by combining hands-on engineering with close customer collaboration.
